If you want to watch UFC in Park Slope, the question that decides your night is not which bar has the biggest screen. It is whether the card you care about starts early enough to finish before the bar closes. This guide lays out every UFC card through December 2026 against our Park Slope hours, and says plainly when another room is the better choice. For our Park Slope room itself, see our Park Slope sports bar page.

What changed for UFC in 2026?

UFC left pay-per-view in 2026. Under a seven-year deal that Paramount and TKO announced on August 11, 2025, every UFC event in the United States streams exclusively on Paramount+, and select numbered events also air on CBS. The deal covers 43 events a year, 13 numbered events and 30 Fight Nights, and premium cards come at no extra cost to Paramount+ subscribers.

Bars work differently. Joe Hand Promotions, which licenses UFC to commercial venues, describes the Paramount+ deal as residential distribution. It says venues can now buy a UFC Bundle that covers the full live UFC slate, or still buy numbered events one at a time. A home Paramount+ account is not described as a license to show fights in a bar, so the room you pick should hold a commercial license.

Where to watch UFC in Park Slope, card by card

Every UFC card left in 2026 falls on a Saturday, when The Beer Garage Park Slope is open from 1:00 PM to 11:00 PM ET. The table sets each main card start against that close. UFC does not publish when a main event itself begins, so a main card that starts at 8:00 PM or later is marked as a risk rather than a fit.

UFC 334 is the New York card of the year, at Madison Square Garden on November 14. UFC.com now lists Gane vs Hokit as the main event. If you are going to the Garden, our Manhattan NFL bar guide lists sports bars near Penn Station, a short walk from the Garden.

What time do UFC cards start?

UFC cards in 2026 start at set Eastern Time slots that depend on the event. UFC 334 and UFC 335 list early prelims at 5:00 PM, prelims at 7:00 PM and the main card at 9:00 PM ET. UFC 333 in Abu Dhabi is the early numbered event, with a 2:00 PM ET main card. Fight Nights start their main cards at either 5:00 PM or 8:00 PM ET, except the November 21 card in Doha, a daytime card with prelims at 10:00 AM and the main card at 1:00 PM ET.

Park Slope bars and UFC

Few bars near Park Slope say on their own website that they show UFC. We checked the sites of the neighborhood’s sports bars on September 17, 2026, and only one venue nearby, Dave & Buster’s at Atlantic Center, lists UFC among the events it shows. Everywhere else, including our own bar, the honest advice is to call and ask for the specific card.

One correction for anyone using older lists: 200 Fifth, still named as a Park Slope sports bar on several roundup sites, has closed. For a wider comparison of the neighborhood’s rooms on screens, sound and hours, read our Park Slope sports bar comparison.

UFC at The Beer Garage Park Slope

The Beer Garage Park Slope is a neighborhood sports bar in a converted garage at 148 5th Avenue, with the entrance on Douglass Street, rotating local craft beer and a kitchen that is 100 per cent gluten-free. It suits an afternoon Fight Night or an early prelim card, and it is not the right room for a main event that runs past 11:00 PM ET.

Getting to The Beer Garage Park Slope

The Beer Garage Park Slope sits on 5th Avenue at Douglass Street, a short walk from Atlantic Av-Barclays Ctr, the station that also serves Barclays Center. Our guide to bars near Barclays Center has the full walking routes.

How we built this guide

We built this guide to where to watch UFC in Park Slope from primary sources only, read on September 17, 2026. The schedule and start times come from the UFC.com event pages, read October 6, 2026; the broadcast change from Paramount’s own announcement; and the bar licensing model from Joe Hand Promotions. Each venue was checked on its own website; where a site said nothing about UFC or could not be read, the table says so. Our scores on a 10-point scale reflect only what each place publishes.

FAQ

Where can I watch UFC in Park Slope?

You can watch UFC in Park Slope at neighborhood sports bars, but few say online which cards they show, so call ahead. The Beer Garage Park Slope at 148 5th Avenue suits afternoon cards and prelims and closes at 11:00 PM ET on Saturdays. Dave & Buster’s at Atlantic Center lists UFC fights on its own website and takes table bookings.

Is UFC still pay-per-view in 2026?

No, UFC is not pay-per-view in the United States in 2026. Under the Paramount and TKO deal announced in August 2025, every UFC event streams on Paramount+ at no extra cost to subscribers, and select numbered events also air on CBS. Bars show events under a commercial license, which Joe Hand Promotions sells as a UFC Bundle or per event.

What time does the UFC main card start?

UFC main cards in 2026 usually start at 8:00 PM or 9:00 PM ET on Saturdays, with prelims two to three hours earlier. Some cards run in the afternoon, including a 2:00 PM ET main card for UFC 333 on October 24, a 5:00 PM ET main card on November 7 and a 1:00 PM ET main card on November 21. UFC does not publish when the main event itself begins.

Does The Beer Garage show UFC fights?

The Beer Garage does not list specific UFC cards on its website, which says only that it shows a full sports line-up. Call the Park Slope bar at 718-576-3409 and name the card you want before you go. On Saturdays the Park Slope bar is open from 1:00 PM to 11:00 PM ET, so late main events may end after closing.

Is there a UFC event in New York in 2026?

Yes, UFC 334 is scheduled for Saturday, November 14, 2026, at Madison Square Garden in New York, according to UFC.com. Its early prelims start at 5:00 PM, prelims at 7:00 PM and the main card at 9:00 PM ET. On October 6, 2026 UFC.com listed Gane vs Hokit as the main event, so check UFC.com for the full card.

Can I eat gluten-free while watching UFC in Brooklyn?

Yes, the kitchen at The Beer Garage Park Slope, 148 5th Avenue in Brooklyn, is 100 per cent gluten-free, including wings, nachos and burgers. Most beer contains gluten, so ask the bar staff about drinks. The West Village location in Manhattan has a standard kitchen. Anyone with celiac disease should still ask staff about their own needs before ordering.

Final verdict

The best place to watch UFC in Park Slope depends on the card. For afternoon Fight Nights and Saturday prelims, we would be glad to see you at 148 5th Avenue, with a fully gluten-free kitchen and a short walk from Barclays Center. For a late main event like UFC 334, book a late-night room or watch at home on Paramount+, because a card that starts at 9:00 PM ET may still be going when we close.
